Wrestling Renegades

Episode 36: All In For All In
SYNOPSIS:
This week, the Renegades join the rest of the professional wrestling world in celebrating professional wrestling itself with their own review of "All In". A show which was easily one of the best in recent memory, it featured something for everyone and brought even more recognition to new and established names alike. Much like "All In" itself was a love letter to the past, present, and future of pro wrestling, this episode of Wrestling Renegades is both a love letter to professional wrestling and "All In". Cody and The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) put their best foot forward and it deserves to be viewed, discussed, and celebrated.
